| DESCRIPTION: | This show examines subject matter that is derived from historical paintings in several museums, including, most recently, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. As the artist states, "My work explores the transitory aesthetics of contemporary art viewing." By basing the work, many of them pairings of large format digital photographs, on the paintings of Master and Old Masters, the artist is able to examine accepted and culturally assumed "value" as it pertains to "priceless" objects. Pictures of these objects taken literally on the fly allow viewers of Osher's work to see the objects in entirely new ways and to form new conceptual relationships with often familiar works of art. Static objects achieve dynamic newness. |
